Why Double Glazing Matters
Double glazing is a standard feature in most modern homes, and with good reason. It offers improved energy efficiency, better insulation, reduced noise, and increased security. For homeowners in Milton Keynes, where weather can be unpredictable and energy costs are rising, upgrading or installing quality double glazing can make a significant difference.
This guide will help you understand what double glazing is, which products are available, and why Crown Windows is a trusted installer in the Milton Keynes area.
What Is Double Glazing?
Double glazing refers to windows or doors with two panes of glass separated by a spacer bar and sealed to form a gap—usually filled with air or inert gas such as argon. This barrier improves thermal performance and limits heat loss.
Benefits include:
- Energy savings – lower heating bills due to reduced heat loss
- Noise reduction – ideal for busy streets or noisy neighbourhoods
- Security – two panes are harder to break through than one
- Reduced condensation – internal surfaces stay warmer
What Frame Materials Are Available?
We supply and install a wide range of frame types, each offering different benefits:
Aluminium
Modern aluminium frames are thermally broken and highly energy efficient. We supply market-leading systems, including:
- Origin OW-70 and OW-80: Slimline profiles with outstanding thermal efficiency and PAS 24-certified security.
- Smart Systems: Widely specified in UK residential and commercial projects, offering strength, minimal maintenance and aesthetic flexibility.
- Cortizo Systems: European aluminium specialists known for their sleek, high-performance profiles.
Aluminium frames are best suited for modern properties and larger openings due to their strength.
uPVC
uPVC remains a popular choice due to its affordability and low maintenance. It offers:
- Good thermal efficiency
- Multiple colour options
- Compatibility with traditional and modern homes
Timber
Ideal for period properties or where conservation compliance is needed. Timber offers natural insulation and can be factory-finished to prolong life.
Window Styles to Consider
We supply and install:
- Casement Windows – Side-hinged, versatile and secure
- Sliding Sash Windows – Traditional appearance with modern performance
- Tilt & Turn Windows – Excellent for ventilation and easy cleaning

Each style is available in various finishes and with hardware options to suit your property.
Energy Efficiency Explained
The energy performance of a window is measured using:

All our installations meet or exceed current UK Building Regulations and are fully FENSA certified.
